ABOUT THE SEMINAR

Patients present to the dental office for reasons related to appearance, function, and comfort. All three areas must be in harmony for overall patient satisfaction. Over the last few decades, dental implants have become a mainstay for the treatment of partially or completely edentulous patients and a major contributor to patient satisfaction. Acting almost like ankylosed teeth, dental implant therapy is safe, reliable, and fun to do. Practicing either general or specialized dentistry, implants offer our patients an incredibly efficacious treatment. This evidence-based program will overview basic principles related to practice management, occlusion, restorative/prosthodontic, and surgical aspects of dental implant therapy.
